Shark Skin Wetsuit

Hi Fellas, Anyone know where to get one of those shark skin under wet suit things and about how much they cost?

Not cheap

Thu, 2010-05-13 11:22

have only checked out local dive stores, searched online a bit but no result. my dive buddy paid $190 for the long sleeve t-shirt, which she wears over the bottom overalls part of her two piece as she dives without the jacket. She's tried all types of neoprene tshirts and fleece rashies, she's finnaly bought a sharkskin after staying away because of the price tag and never been happier

shark skins

I wear one under my 3 mm steamer most of the time - when it gets really cold I wear it under my 5mm... Does the trick while my dive buddies are grizzling about the cold in their 7mm suits...

Dive shops sell them. Try Australasian Dive at Melville - Canning Highway. They aren't cheap, as Reefmonkey said, but they are well worth the $$... I bought mine a long time ago, so I'm not up with current pricing...

cheers,

J

Adrenalin do one, I got mine

Adrenalin do one, I got mine (short sleeved t-shirt) and it was less than half price of the Shark Skin and from the times I've worn it, every bit as good.
